"Inter's 2-0 win over Genoa on Saturday had left Milan 13 points off the summit, with the Derby della Madonnina to come next weekend, but two late goals ensured their faint title hopes did not take another blow on Sunday."
"It looked as though Milan would have to settle for a point when Niclas Fullkrug nodded Luka Modric's cross off-target in the 86th minute, but only three minutes later, another curling delivery from the Croatian was flicked on by Koni De Winter and bundled in by Pavlovic."
"Ahead of this game, Milan had failed to score in their last three away Serie A games against Cremonese (two draws, one loss), with their most recent goals at the Stadio Giovanni Zini coming from Jean-Pierre Papin and Marco Simone in a 2-0 victory on 26 September 1993."
AC Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Cremonese with two late goals, moving within 10 points of Serie A leaders Inter. Strahinja Pavlovic scored in the 89th minute from a Luka Modric cross, followed by Rafael Leao's tap-in in the 94th minute. The match remained competitive throughout the first half, with Cremonese creating chances despite their poor league form since December 7. Milan dominated possession in the second period but struggled to convert opportunities until the decisive late surge. The victory ended Milan's 23-year wait for goals at Cremonese's stadium, with their previous away goals there dating to 1993.
